What is the package name of this app?
Can’t download from Android market, always say “not found”…. Help me. I wanna buy mexican voices…
Google recently created a PC version of Android Market. The links to those voices are the following:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.svox.classic.langpack.spa_mex_fem
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.svox.classic.langpack.spa_mex_male
If you cannot install from these links, Android Market is not providing the apps in your location, for example because paid apps are not yet supported.
Can the “note everything” also “and Bible” apps be added?
Love using moonreader with the Michael Voice, thanks for your work.
Done. Thanks for the tips!
Droid Talker also does TTS on text typed into text field. It can also load a .txt file into the text field.

more on Droid Talker:
however it seems to truncate the text file, so large text files have to be split up. This is regarding the LITE version, perhaps the FULL version doesn’t have that restriction.
Ignore my 2nd comment from February 24, 2011 at 16:28. 🙂
It seems the app splits the file into separate pages, so it won’t read the entire text file in one go, you have to press “next page”, and then the “speak” button. It works, but a bit crude, and not as “hands-free” as I had hoped.
Enhanced caller id by Edward Kawas is awesome. It reads incoming SMS & Callers, and also emails and calendar events. It’s a really good value for your money.
Yeah, I like that one too! It reads everything and does exactly what other higher priced apps claim to do but fail!
Remember Me (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.bible.remember_me) has been using SVOX TTS (Pico & Classic) with great success.
The link to Remember Me has changed. It is now available on https://www.remem.me
Wondering if you’re aware of something that would act as Twitter reader, or Plume reader.
I bought this app exclusively by web talks, but It did not start reading automatically like with pico TTS , Am I doing something wrong?
RetroActive is a great diary/journaling app that reads entries nicely with SVOX:

Thanks. It’s now been added to the App Gallery!
Me parece muy bueno
Works great with Career Bible.
Works great with Cadre Bible!
Is there an app that reads Twitter as new tweets come in? I’d like to be able to use this app while driving, in class, etc. Thanks!
